Aberystwyth Cliff Railway is operated by Constitution Hill Ltd, a registered charity with the trustees all volunteers from the local community.
As a non-profit organisation, we put all of our profits back into ongoing restorative projects. Every visitor who rides the train, or buys a coffee, helps us to fund this continuing programme. In recent years, this has resulted in great strides being made towards restoring Constitution Hill to its former glory.
Recently, this has included a series of works to make the whole site accessible to all, including parking provision for adapted vehicles, ramps at our lower station, a lift at our upper station and wheelchair, pram and pushchair friendly pathways throughout the site, including to the Camera Obscura.
In terms of restoration, some financial resources have been generated through the securing of heritage grants. Whilst our largest project, the construction in 2005 of ‘Y Consti’, our cafe/restaurant and gift shop, was built thanks to Objective One funding.
We would also like to thank ‘Enfys’, a charity based in North Wales, whose grant paid for much of the display work and educational resources around the site.
If you would wish to make a donation towards our efforts, please contact Alun Davies at Constitution Hill Ltd, Cliff Railway House, Cliff Terrace, Aberystwyth, SY23 2DN, or call us on 01970 617642, or email us at info@aberystwythcliffrailway.co.uk.
Thank you for visiting our website, and we hope to see you on the hilltop in the near future.
Regards,
The Constitution Hill Team.
